Saying nonsmokers are winning now is like saying whites were winning in South Africa under apartheid, or Muslims are winning under the Taliban. They weren't winning, they were being led down a losing path by a small faction of fanatics. In this case, the fanatics are called antismokers.
What nonsmokers are losing: .. Ethics and honesty in activism. .. Loss of scientific credibility, particularly epidemiology. Has already happened. .. Social engineering seen as profitable by business. .. Rollback of civil rights movement, legitimization of hatred and bigotry

Sour grapes means pretense of disinterest in an unattainable goal. For example, you might say literacy is meaningful only to pedants, has no practical use.

LOL! Another "logical" retort from the

Hey, sophisticated guy, you don't "gain" sour grapes - sour grapes always refers to an unattainable goal. Idiot, the fox couldn't reach the grapes so in his own mind he decided they were sour. Aesops's Fables? Ever hear read 'em? Probably not as they deal with moral lessons.
However, kudos for the good knee-jerk response in defense of your two silver tongue low-rent panty-pansy pals who lent, to this thread, their unquestionable skills in grandiloquence and quick-wit. LOL!

Hmm . . . gain something you already have. Interesting. LOL!
> Stop being so defensive.
You truly are stupid. One doesn't "have" sour grapes, one may have an attitude, response, reaction, etc., "indicative" of the concept of sour grapes. Instead of over occupying your feeble mind with imbecilic trolling stupidity, why not use your surfing "skills" to look up the acceptable definition yourself.

Next time you use the term sour grapes please check in with the Big Nancy for permission.

Well, okay then, if you perceive holding a mindless troll accountable for his stupidity, hyperbolizing, immaturity, and neuroses as defensive, then we'll accept that. Whatever state of denial puts you at ease is fine with The BIG N. Your frivolous repudiation hardly changes the facts of who and what you are (no need to rehash the gluttonous consumer, 1000+ newsgroup participant, mindless and ill- informed obsessive troll, slow-thinking yuppie again, etc, right?).
At least TBN has you straightened out on your erroneous "sour grapes" confusion. So-o-o dense.
BTW did you borrow your "up against the ropes", oversensitive ,defeatist and inconsequential rebuke from panty-pal Angry and Frustrated Lout Sterdy Nerdy? LOL!

Wow, you sure did you clever, deft and crafty, bushwacker. LOL!
Dagnabbit, you get me everytime you silly trolling varmint!!
Perhaps TBN needs to reasess his belief that you are a low-rent, no- verbal, unsophisticated, poorly educated, emotionally unstable, vocabulary-limited, angry and frustrated loser.
Okay TBN reconsidered -- I'm right on all of the above.LOL!!!!!
Gotta admit, chain-pullin' pansy, we're havin' a blast here, no?
> We? Who is the "we" to whom you refer? Oh right, you are Schizo Nizo. > ^^^^^^
Thank you for your inquiry, dunce, I'll be more than pleased to answer.
"We" is all of us, doofus! Aren't you and your panty-pals havin" fun also? I thought that's what compelled you to visit this smokers newsgroup with such extraordinary regularity. I can't imagine that your obsessive trolling would be done as a labor of drudgery! Come on, foolish person, fess-up. You're havin' fun putting us all on, right? You and your gal-pals can't really be as dumb, unsophisticated, and chldsh as you're presenting yourselves to be, right? Now if I'm wrong here, I implore you to lighten up rather than having only The BIG N enjoy all the laughs.
So, nit-wit, when I say "ain't we havin' fun", I'm including you and the rest of the nut jobs. My, my, must I explain everything to this half-wit?
> > And defensive too.
Psychological projection (or projection bias) is the unconscious act of denial of a person's own attributes, thoughts, and/or emotions, which are ascribed to another person.
Check in again, doofus, we know you have a lot of time on your hands iwhen your not downloading apps on your iphone. LOL!

Good report card today, Nancy. You haven't missed a SUCK. LOL!
> Good report card today, Nancy. You haven't missed a SUCK. LOL!
Very clever Reactionary_Chick!! Where do you come up with these great ideas?? I have a feeling that there is a really sharp smoker out there whom you secretly admire enough to emulate. Problem is, slow-thinker, you are w-a-a-a-a-a-y to angry to be humorous. If you must pattern yourself after The BIG N, keep it light. Keep it fun. Relax a bit, you'll live longer. Too much hate, dipso, too much hate . . . tsk, tsk.
Well now I have you, The Angry Nerd, and the Twinkster, borrowing my schticks. If it wasn't for the fact that you gals were so desperately stupid and humorless, I might be flattered. LOL!
Interesting crew though - Bab's Broughton's fixation on the anal region; your abnormal preoccupation with sucking; and Angry and Frustrated Lout Sterdy Nerdy's internal conflicts with his obsessive homophobic issues. And for all the world to witness, no less. Such strange behavior.
Wait right there in the closet ladies, The Big N will get you some help - Calling Dr. Freud . . . calling Dr. Freud . . . LOL!!!
